2026 Q1 Newsletter – HIMS Committee Update

HIMS Committee Update

Your APA 2118 HIMS Committee has been working to develop an updated HIMS Program Manual. Our goal is not just to bring our program up-to-date with industry standards, but to achieve an industry leading HIMS Program. Allegiant has been cooperatively working with us to provide more financial assistance to our participants. Our new Manual is aimed to secure better financial assistance for our pilots while working to obtain a Special Issuance Medical Certificate, as well as updated language and protections in other Program areas.

HIMS National hosts multiple educational seminars throughout the year. In May, APA 2118 is sending two volunteers to the HIMS Advanced Topics Seminar to gather up-to-date information so that we can continue to provide our participants a Program geared toward making the process of obtaining a Special Issuance as seamless and efficient as possible.

Your APA 2118 HIMS Committee continues to work to give our pilots an excellent HIMS Program. We thank our volunteers, and everyone involved for helping to make that possible.

Fly safe,
HIMS Committee
